About This Book

A first-person narrator from a dying satellite describes intense attachment to a companion who volunteers to scout a nearby verdant planet for sustenance. After she departs, the narrator travels to the new world and discovers abundant plant life but no animals, recognizing that the scout may be the first of her type there. He broadcasts calls to find her while meditating on loneliness, the practical challenges of survival, and the bittersweet choice between remaining on a decaying home and seeking hope through interplanetary relocation.
